All,
Please advise what else I might be able to do to help. Because my legacy
hardware is running fine at present, it's easy for me to be patient while a
"fix" is being researched that would permit AstLinux to work on my SATA
hardware.
However, particularly since I would benefit from such a "fix," I'm happy to
lend a hand. I'm not terribly proficient with Linux but would be glad to help
to the degree I can. Please let me know.
Dan

Dan,
Thanks for testing, that helps us.
No need to try the SATA hard disk.
